Particle in One Dimensional Box
The particle in the box can have only certain restricted values of
energy.
This is in contrast to the classical result that the particle can have
any non-negative energy.
The energy difference between two consecutive levels increases
as the value of n increases.

Tunneling
The penetration of a particle into a classically forbidden region
or
The passage of a particle through a potential energy barrier
whose height exceeds the particle’s energy.
Tunneling is a quantum effect.
Therefore, it is most prevalent with particles of small mass.
Electrons tunnel quite readily.
Hydrogen atoms and ions tunnel more readily than heavier
atoms.

5.3. Harmonic Oscillator
It is a system with a continuously varying potential.
Quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator plays an essential
role in our understanding of molecular vibrations, their spectra
and their influence on thermodynamic properties.

Harmonic Oscillator
Oscillator its motion is back and forth over the same path.
Harmonic the restoring force on the mass is proportional to the
horizontal component of the displacement of the mass.
